Fund This: Rex and Rooty by Deep Fried Manna

I recently heard from my friend Mike Su, co-founder of Massive Joe Studios, who's getting the word out about their next project. Deep Fried Manna, started by Mike and team of dedicated folks, is an interactive studio whose goal is to make faith-based apps for kids. They're currently in the throes of a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for Rex and Rooty, an interactive Christian book. Check out the fundraising video, which features none other than NBA star Jeremy Lin:

These are good guys, and they're trying to create something that can make a positive impact on young lives -- or at the very least, something that their own kids would use and enjoy.

The goal is to raise $150,000 by January 16. That's an ambitious target, and if they don't hit it, they get nothing, but they've made some decent progress. If you feel so inclined to make a pledge, or if you want further details about Rex and Rooty, visit the Kickstarter page. And for more information, visit the Deep Fried Manna website.
